Hands-on course

Filling the Endo Gap is a two-part endodontic program consisting of a one-day lecture (Part 1), and a two-day lecture and hands-on (Part 2). This program will review the basic biologic principles behind endodontic treatment and enable participants to carry out routine endodontic treatment in an effective and efficient manner. 

Filling the Endo Gap - Part 2 is a two-day lecture and hands-on course reviewing basic endodontic treatments and is mainly designed for new graduates, overseas dentists, and those dentists who wish to freshen up their basic endodontic knowledge and skills.  

The aim of this course is to 'fill the gap in Endodontics' and help with the learning curve in cases when students leave dental school and enter the private practice. This course is also designed to help overseas dentists who are planning to sit the ADC exams.

In this hands-on course, Part 2, each participant will carry out various clinical exercises on specifically designed endodontic models and natural teeth - from rubber dam and access to root canal preparation to obturation, with every step discussed with interactive demonstrations.  In addition, topics will include Temporisation of teeth with orthodontic bands, and a lot of the demonstrations will be via a microscope for the best learning experience. Limited seats are available for this hands-on course.
